Find the Right Doctor with Cinergy Health
March 9, 2010
If you’re not comfortable with your current doctor, it’s time to make a switch. As Dr. Margaret Lewin of Cinergy Health explains, there is no reason to stay with a doctor that makes you uncomfortable. Now, how do you go about finding the right doctor?
Certainly, you can first check if there is another doctor within the first doctor’s practice that you’ll like more. You should also look through the list of doctors offered by your health plan so that you don’t go out of plan and spend more. To narrow your list, you could check Internet sites, but Lewin cautions that some of those ratings may be filled out by office staff or by angry patients.
Next, talk with friends to get recommendations and see if you can have an introductory visit with a few of the doctors. Dr. Lewin, the Medical Director of the health plan provider started by Daniel Touizer, offers sound advice. As she says, “A doctor can’t take care of you. He or she can educate you how to take care of yourself. That’s important. You want someone who can explain the diagnosis, what to do about it and the short-term and long-term implications.”
Deal with Exhaustion with Cinergy Health Help
March 2, 2010
“Exhaustion” is often in the news. Whether it’s Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, or another star cancelling shows and complaining of exhaustion, the topic is often coming up. How do you avoid exhaustion and what causes it? Here, the Director of Cinergy Health, started by Daniel Touizer, offers her advice on the subject.
One form of exhaustion is “burn-out” which occurs when you work incredibly long hours without paying attention to other important areas of your life. Eventually you simply stop in your tracks and can’t move on. To avoid this, you need to take time for yourself and others each day to relax and to focus on other areas.
Sometimes, the cause of exhaustion is anemia. This can make you slow down – either gradually or dramatically. If you feel incredibly weak or in pain, you should seek immediate medical attention. For the long term, you should make sure to get enough iron and to take important vitamins such as B12.
Certainly, in general, to avoid exhaustion you need to get enough sleep and exercise. Eat a well-balance diet, take time every day to relax and give yourself time to explore new things and not to focus all the time on work.
